Antonin Dvorak: Violinkonzert op.53 on Super Audio CD
Violinkonzert op.53
The SACD uses a higher digital resolution than the audio CD and also offers the possibility to store multi-channel sound (surround sound). To enjoy the music in high-end quality, a special SACD player is required. Thanks to the hybrid function, most of the products marked "SACD" in our store can also be played on conventional CD players. In this case, however, the sound does not differ from that of a normal CD. In case of deviations, we point this out separately (non-hybrid).

Dvoraks Violinkonzert ganz im Geiste der russischen Schule
Die junge, russisch-stämmige Geigerin Liza Ferschtman beweist mit ihrer Interpretation des Dvoraks Violinkonzertes erneut ihren Weltrang. Gemeinsam mit dem Niederländischen Philharmonischen Orchester unter dem ebenso temperamentvollen wie sensiblen Schweizer Dirigenten Mario Venzago, gelingt eine intensive und atmosphärisch dichte Deutung. Das ganze garniert mit Gershwins berühmter Tondichtung für Orchester ‚Ein Amerikaner in Paris’.
Product Information
The premiere of the Violin Concerto composed by Dvořák would be in Prague on 14 October 1883, played by the Czech violinist František Ondříček. A month later he played it in Vienna with the Wiener Philharmoniker, conducted by Hans Richter. It was a special and memorable concert for Dvořák, all the more so since the Third Symphony of Brahms was on the programme as well, and Brahms had been a driving force behind the Violin Concerto.
We do not know why Joachim never performed the Violin Concerto. it was the idea that Joseph Joachim would have played the actual premiere but this in the end did not happen. It was claimed that, having been trained in the classical German musical tradition, he thought the concerto's form was too free. Although he never said so directly to Dvořák, a number of his proposed changes point in that direction. Strictly speaking he was right, but it was precisely the unconventional forms used by the composer that make the work so intriguing.(from the linernotes)
Violinist Liza Ferschtman gives a beautiful rendition of this intruiging concerto together with Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra and Mario Venzago.
On this cd we can also hear "An American in Paris", a symphonic poem, or perhaps it can better be termed a free rhapsody for an expanded orchestra by Gershwin . Although Gershwin had not meant it as programme music and certainly not as an autobiographic work, it clearly shows features of both. And it was even Gershwin himself who described the piece as follows: “My purpose here is to portray the impression of an American visitor in Paris as he strolls about the city and listens to various street noises and absorbs the French atmosphere." As the story continues, the man becomes homesick for the familiar sounds at home in America. But pleasure gains the upper hand and he flings himself with conviction into the hustle and bustle of Paris.
